Bittersweet Dandelion Berry Smoothie

In a couple days I will be going on a detox and cleanse program where I can only eat raw foods for 20 days.  I decided to experiment with my first smoothie to see how it tastes.  It's going to take a little getting used to lol.  This is made from organic dandelion greens purchased from Wegmans.  Now I don't know if you can use the wild greens from your yard... you need to consider chemicals so that's up to you.  I chose dandelion greens because they are highly nutritious.  Dandelions have a bitter taste because they are so full of energy so I had to add something sweet.
 


Ingredients:

2 cups raw dandelion greens
1.5 cups frozen berries
1/8c raw blue agave nectar
1/8c flaxseed
1T almond butter

NOTE - Dandelions are a great source to aid in disgestion, reduce swelling and inflammation as well as help treat viruses, jaundice, edema, gout, eczema and acne.
